The Willits People Project is an imaging and storytelling project intended to capture the spirit of the people in this community through the eyes of our Apprentices and their Artwork.

Each Apprentice has nominated a “Willits Person,” the individual in their lives whom they feel most represents what they love about this place. Artists Fernando Meza, Katie Stranske, and Stephanie Jimenez set to work creating portraits of each “Willits Person.” Curator Tasia Hooks is documenting each of their stories in writing.
